Truth in television (or orchard gift shops, as the case may be): every year, I forget that we "need" so many apple-based jams, jellies, baked goods, and sauces, but we leave the orchard with plenty. We went apple picking today; I teased my kids to watch out for the applejackalopes wandering the...

Oh, that was a deep cut. But my wife--an Oz fan and not a D&D player--was able to laugh at the joke, so hats off to Burlew for that one!

They are in Michigan, you should get a deposit back per can! This is so tempting, but I bought last year's bottle of the beer...and have been holding on to it for a special occasion. I really need to just accept that "Tuesday" counts as "a special occasion."

Or the Albino Silver in that Dragonlance story.

Fully off topic, but ye gods, I miss when THAT was the D&D webpage.

I was more thinking of using up some of the metric crapton of acrylic my wife has in our basement. The things that pile up when your partner is a crafter and engineering teacher (and descended from hoarders)... But I do love Etsy.

While it is on the back of the poster map, I can see what @agrayday means if they are saying that one "too busy." Although I personally like the art on it, a transparent acrylic "bullseye" with the bands labeled and in the right scale would be pretty nice. Maybe I could get on that...

I've only read the adventure for the 5e version (so far): It's pretty straightforward: I'd say it does a good job of introducing the basics of LOTR:5E, 5E players should catch on fast to the differences, new players should catch on fast to the new. I need to look into how the Rules book...

Lemme get time to scan them and I'll post or PM you guys.

LOL. "Post 'Starters arrived Saturday' to ENWorld was on my todo list for today. I have not read the rules or adventures yet, but--as always for Free League--I'm happy with the production values.

10 days at 18 years old was a lot easier than 7 would be at 47. We went straight up the middle; one of our younger kids had altitude sickness when we climbed the Tooth, so as the adult-in-charge (we may have broke a rule or two there) I stayed at the base with him and the adult from our sister...

I really appreciate this and am enjoying the tale. A MUCH younger me trekked Philmont 10 days, 30 years ago, and coincidentally, you were actually there at the same time as a friend's kid. We were visiting them while he was packing, and inspired me to track down info from my trek; I was...

Whoops! Wrong Philmont thread.

Was literally going to post almost this as my answer!

Same, but both! And running both One Ring and LOTR5e are on at least one of those lists. Maybe if I had a Samwise Gamgee, I could address both adventuring and gardening.
